:Choosing '''historic''' would be the best family friendly option, but is a far less desirable choice. [[Special:Contributions/184.66.160.91|184.66.160.91]] 05:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

:: The only placement for ''historic'' would get it onto the triple word score with one doubled letter, making 42. Still nowhere near ''coistril'' or ''clitoris'', though (which can both get the 50 point bonus and the double letter score for the C).

Randall uses the word "Ostrich" as an alternate word, but "Historic" or "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coistril Coistril]" would gain more points. {{unsigned|Matchup}}

How can you get "historic" from the tiles shown? The player doesn't have an "h" and has only one "i." [[User:Jelsemium|Jelsemium]] ([[User talk:Jelsemium|talk]]) Jelsemium
 
 
 
:Because 'Historic' starts with 'Hi', which has already been played.  He can place 'storic' on the end of the existing 'Hi'. -Graptor [[Special:Contributions/162.158.79.185|162.158.79.185]] 04:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
How on earth can "clitoris" ever be an inappropriate word? That is so sexist! [[User:The Cat Lady|-- The Cat Lady]] ([[User talk:The Cat Lady|talk]]) 15:51, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 
 
 
Can't believe nobody mentioned the smaller size of lefthand Cueball. Neither the granny (presumably) nor the other grown woman (Mother? Older sister?) there might be too bothered personally (depends on the individuals concerned), but with an adolescent child (a boy in particular) it would greatly add to the issues in most family circumstances. Added to the transcript, accordingly. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.79|172.70.85.79]] 19:02, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
